Summary of Questionnaires - 1

Matt Burriesci - I have been in school since 15 but I have also worked part-time in a variety of positions. In addition to teaching fencing at Stanford, I started my own fencing equipment repair company in highschool. As an undergraduate, I was a manager at various camps (EPGY Summer Institute, Pirates' and Fencing Camps at Stanford). I consult for or have consulted for Kyphon (now part of Medtronic), several smaller biotech companies, and a real estate company. I have also been a property manager, a skill my wife and I hope to use as we continue to invest our consulting income in East Menlo Park rental units.

Emily Egeler - I finished undergrad two quarters early, which I spent at home visiting with family, babysitting and interviewing for graduate schools; but otherwise I have been continuously enrolled in school.

David Goode - Spent one year working in a microbiology lab in Vancouver, BC, at the Univ. of British Columbia (better known as UBC).

Spent the next year working in a biomedical research institute in Melbourne, the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute (better known as WEHI).

Dmitry Karshtedt - Staff chemist for Kovio, Inc., a printed electronics startup in Milpitas, CA. I worked there from April 2006 to July 2008.

Other Degree: Ph.D. in Chemistry from Berkeley, 2005

Matt Prosen - I took a year off between obtaining my engineering degree and going to law school. During that year I worked for BSB Capital, which is an investment arm of a private bank based in Texas. I worked as a part of and headed a collateral evaluations team and researched corporate debt, equities, and mortgage-backed securities for purchase on the secondary market. I was interested in the job because I wanted to gain some business acumen and did not have the credit space available in undergrad to obtain a business minor. I believe it was a valuable experience and gave me insight into the driving forces behind the US economy.

Ben Roxborough - As a lawyer at Mallesons Stephen Jaques (20032005), I was heavily involved in pharmaceutical patent litigation (enantiomer and polymorphs were the subject matter of the suits).

As a Research Associate (Clerk) to the Federal Court of Australia (20067), my work typically involved working with judges as a scientific (and legal) consultant in explaining complex scientific concepts. Invariably I would be involved in drafting the scientific section of a judgment and assist with the legal reasoning.

During late 2007 and 2008, I was Associate to Justice Sundberg and continued to work on patent and IP matters, amongst other administrative cases in the docket.

Riti Sarangi - 2007 (Oct)-Present: Employed at SLAC (Stanford University) as a Staff Scientist. My research is in the field of metalloproteins. I study them in the crystal form using x-ray diffraction/x-ray absorption.

Aaron Streets - For the year in between undergrad and here I traveled around Asia and made a little money private tutoring math/physics in California. While traveling I visited China, Japan and Thailand, then returned to Beijing to take a language course.
